I've tried adding a module with APT:

# apt-get install libhtml-wikiconverter-markdown-perl

and it seems to have put things in the right place

# locate HTML | grep WikiConverter
/usr/share/man/man3/HTML::WikiConverter::Markdown.3pm.gz
/usr/share/perl5/HTML/WikiConverter
/usr/share/perl5/HTML/WikiConverter/Markdown.pm
/var/cache/man/cat3/HTML::WikiConverter::Markdown.3pm.gz

Yet when I try the following:

perl -e 'use HTML::WikiConverter;'

I get this error:
Can't locate HTML/WikiConverter.pm in @INC (you may need to install the HTML::WikiConverter module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at -e line 1.

The manual says:

SYNOPSIS
         use HTML::WikiConverter;
         my $wc = new HTML::WikiConverter( dialect => 'Markdown' );
         print $wc->html2wiki( $html );
